I'm recently trained into a Maelstrom and am looking for a decent fit to solo l4 missions. Basically i have used an afk tanked domi in the past but am now looking for a more active approach to isk making.
Can anyone suggest a good fit for running most missions.
I'm using a basic setup of acs and mwd at moment, but wonder if theres a more efficient method.

This is what I run with...
[Lows] Gyrostabilizer II Gyrostabilizer II Tracking Enhancer II Tracking Enhancer II Tracking Enhancer II
[Mids] Heavy Capacitor Booster II (800 charges) Shield Boost Amp II X-Large Shield Booster II Invulnerability Field II (rat specific hardener) (rat specific hardener)
[Highs] 800mm Repeating Artillery II 800mm Repeating Artillery II 800mm Repeating Artillery II 800mm Repeating Artillery II 800mm Repeating Artillery II 800mm Repeating Artillery II 800mm Repeating Artillery II 800mm Repeating Artillery II
[Rigs] Large Core Defense Capacitor Safeguard I Large Core Defense Capacitor Safeguard I Large Projectile Burst Aerator I
[Drones] 5x Hobgoblin II 3x Ogre II or 5x Warrior II 3x Berserker II
Notes: - I tend to "overtank" a bit just to be on the safe side (sometimes I kill the triggers without thinking)... - the general idea of this fit is kill everything while tanking a whole lot... - speed is not really a big issue (just slowboat to the next acceleration gate while you are killing everything, no need to avoid the "horde")... - drones are there for point defense purposes.

AC Maelstrom is a beast, however in my opinion ACs only really shine versus Angels or in pretty much any mission on the Vargur or Mach.
Here is an example of a gank fit 1400 arty mael. Does great dps, and you won't loose all your dps while fighting well into falloff. Use the AB to reduce transversal IE make them chase you, or fit a tracking computer instead of the AB. This fit does require AWUV however you could probably play around with it and make it fit w/ AWUIV. You can always slap on a set of 800s when it is time to fight angels/mercs. Faction items can be substituted for t2 if you don't have the isk handy.

This fit will target and hit out to around 120Km, even with the short range ammo. It is good for missions with far spawns or ones where you can choose the warp-in distance. In some of those, I barely need to pulse the shield booster.
AB and 800mm is still the way to go for other missions that involve up-close rats. |

I'm in the same boat as you are. I just switched to Minmatar ships about a month ago from a Domi. (I currently have 2 Domi's. One dual rep/250's for tank intensive missions and a single rep style sentry fit Domi).
Most missions the 800 AC fit does pretty well. With 2 tracking enhancers in the lows and a targetting computer in the mids you can actually do some decent dps under about 50 km. Anything with most of the rats over 50 km I switch to 1400's. When using 1400's I also use Republic Fleet ammo since the firing speed is SO very slow.
The only mission I don't like running in the Mael is Stop the Thief. Mostly because the incoming dps on that mission is nuts and I'm not quite confident enough in my skills that I'm ready to risk my new ship.
For the most part loving it though. It seems to run most missions much faster than the Dominix. If only there were a Republic Fleet version! |

You can swap a the TC for a AB or MWD if you need, the TC is very handy for most angel missions. |

With a half decent skills mael (T1m4 guns and a t2 xl booster) you wont need a cap booster EVER unlike the other nublets who post here you only have to run your booster for one or two cycles and dont need to perma run anything
Here is what i use (the dg booster is like 90 mill so get it)
8x 800mm autos T2
100nm AB dread guristas xl booster boost amp t2 2 rat specific hards tracking computer T2
3 gyros T2 2 tracking enhancers T2
1 projectile ambit rig T2 (its **** cheap) 2 ccc rigs
assorted drones
Its got more than enough tank for any mission because its got more than enough gank for any mission it tracks well and its got mobility
